Get Educated on Criminal Law and More!

The great thinker Aristotle once said that the law is a reason, free from passion, but one must study and learn as much as possible to practice the same. Law is a truly vast subject and with a range of specializations, there is a constant need for practicing lawyers to stay updated. From criminal law to becoming a Cop to field training, Joe Sobrio's new book "Policing Las Vegas" has everything you need to know.

In the United States, crimes are divided into two categories: misdemeanors and felonies.
Misdemeanors are generally minor crimes that could result in a fine of up to about $1,500 and no more than a year in county jail, whereas a felony would generally start at a fine of about $1,500 and more than a year in state prison. These two crime categories are present in the federal justice system as well as the local.

Federal crimes are very intricate and, by nature, require movement beyond state lines or a violation of a federal statute. Federal statutes are very complicated, and they are the result of two hundred years of legislative action. Federal laws are rarely repealed and tend to stack on top of each other. Federal criminal statutes are very hard to enforce and are sometimes based on what is called administrative law.

Because federal law is incredibly complicated, very specialized people are needed to enforce it. Therefore, you have law enforcement officers who work for the IRS or the treasury department. The mystique of federal law enforcement is an elite group of enforcers above reproach is false. They are the subject of such insane fictional movies and television shows that it is laughable to those who are actually in law enforcement.

Pick any movie or television show that glorifies any federal law enforcement agency. Watch it and wait for the scene when they assert themselves. It will go one of two ways: Either you will see some inept, stupid, or rogue local police officer who can only be corrected by the elite standards of some federal agency, or the federal agency will show up at some crime scene and assert some fictional, ridiculous jurisdictional argument over some local police agency.

Laws in the United States are naturally layered. State laws can be more restrictive than federal laws, but not usually less restrictive. For example, federal law may regulate safety features in your car, but state law could further regulate your vehicle by requiring it to be registered or for the emissions to be checked annually. County and city statutes can be more restrictive than state law. An example of this would be a federal regulation for a state to establish traffic laws; however, the state would establish the actual speed limit.

The United States of America is not perfect; however, I feel that we do have the finest justice model on the face of the earth. The US Constitution granted us rights, and these rights are inalienable. However, as time has passed, with more and more laws passed and more and more federal agencies created, laws have become unenforceable. It is easy to pass a law and point to the police for help. However, is your passed law constitutional? Is it ethical to jail persons for the matter?
